*Huan You Bi Ji* records: It grows in the thatch grass of deep mountains in Linhai, locally known as "Xian Mao Guo" (Immortal Mound Fruit). It sprouts in autumn and bears fruit in winter. Woodcutters collect it for food and can also grind it into powder. Its nature is warm and tonifying, yet no one in cities consumes it. *Ben Cao Gang Mu* mentions "Hou Sao Zi," which differs in shape. Additionally, Linhai produces "Hou Zong Zi," also called "Tu Shi" (Earth Persimmon), which appears every September and October, resembling red persimmons in shape; these are not the same substance. *Linhai Yi Wu Zhi* records: "Hou Ta Zi" is finger-sized, bitter in taste but edible, and found nowhere else. Its nature is warm; it warms the Dantian, benefits the five zang organs, strengthens the spleen, and increases qi strength.
*Chuan Xin Fang* records: For treating intestinal bleeding (Chang Hong), regardless of whether it is new or chronic, three doses will result in complete recovery. Use one qian of stir-fried black Diyu (Sanguisorbae Radix), 1.5 qian of Baiwei (Cynanchi Atrati Radix), one qian of stir-fried black Puhuang (Typhonii Pollen), 1.5 qian of Sangbaipi (Mori Cortex), and two liang of Gua Zi Ke (Watermelon Seed Shell). Decoct with water to drink as a substitute for plain water. (*Bu Yao Liang Fang* records: Using only Gua Zi Ke decocted and taken orally treats intestinal wind with lower blood.)
Hematemesis: *Bu Yao Liang Fang* records: One tea cup of Gua Zi Ke, decocted in one bowl of water and consumed, stops bleeding immediately.
Miraculous for stopping hiccups.
*Tong Shou Lu* contains a method for making orange cakes: Select oranges that are half-yellow and undamaged (those too green are hard and difficult to soften). Score them into segments with a small knife, soak in clean water for one to two days to remove sourness and astringency, changing the water daily. When soft, remove, squeeze out the seeds, and soak again for one to two days. Remove, insert the end of a hairpin into each score line to crush the inner pulp, then place in a pot and decoct with clear water. Do not let it burn. When about seventy to eighty percent soft, remove, mix with white refined sugar while hot, then sun-dry. Repeat adding sugar and drying until the sugar is fully absorbed. Stuff the dried sugar back into the orange cavity, press slightly flat, store in a jar, and it can also be taken with soup. It eliminates stubborn phlegm, descends qi, harmonizes the middle jiao and opens the appetite, widens the diaphragm and strengthens the spleen, resolves fish and crab toxicity, and clears intoxication. Those with qi deficiency and scrofula should not take it.
Produced in Myanmar, recorded in *Qian Jin Fang*.
Taste is bitter and neutral, nature is slippery. It primarily benefits heart blood, nourishes lung metal, stops thirst and generates fluids. Consuming much makes the mouth refreshing but may dull the sense of taste. It harmonizes the five zang organs. Long-term consumption lightens the body and brightens the eyes.
It cures [conditions involving] severance/interruption upon treatment.
